1ST time eating at Howard's in Ider. The atmosphere was very welcoming! The selections of food was wonderful! But oh my greatness, the food was AMAZING! EVERYTHING tasted FRESH and perfectly prepared! But the BIGGEST mouth drop was seeing the receipt, UNDER $40 for BOTH our meals & appetizer!!

WOW! I had heard about this place, but since it's so far away I never got around to trying it until today. I will be back! Oh, man, this food is fantastic! I figured it would be okay, or even pretty good, but I wasn't ready for THIS. WORTH THE TRIP!!! Buffet & salad bar, along with a regular menu. T
